I agree with other reviewers that the story line is good as is the mix of characters but do not see how 5 stars can be given with all the grammatical errors. Far, far too often possessive ('s) was used where plural (s) should have been used, and vice versa. There was also confusion in the use of "your" vs "you're". Then there were the many other uses of the wrong word ( for example, forth vs fourth; residents vs residence; etc) or the wrong verb tense. Some things, I would hope, would be caught with a simple proof reading before publishing, but others are so frequent it is obvious the author needs to work with someone who can teach him what he should have learned in school.

Great book!! I really enjoyed this story, it was so believeable. The people felt like real people, not just characters. I want to go to The Coffee Cabin, hang out (or work there) & be friends with all of these people with all their varied personalities. The story format is even unique (to me anyway). Job well done!! I want more of this story & these people. :)

I am not a person who reads a lot. Actually, I can count the number of books that I have read, just for the pleasure of reading, on one hand. This book, and Alley Girl were written by my long time friend Steve Pawley. I will admit that I purchased Alley Girl to support his passion of writing, and will say that I have not yet read it. (Sorry Steve!) I read The Coffee Cabin because I may have been lured or even tricked into reading it by the author himself. He told me that he included a funny story of ours (that we still laugh about today) into this book. Well, his tricked worked, I am now looking forward to reading Alley Girl and future books that he will add to The McCatty Chronicles. Thank you for reintroducing the pleasure of reading a book, getting me involved into a story and actually have me looking forward to reading more.

Having read Ally Girl also by Steve Pawley. I totally loved that book I had to read Coffee Cabin. I was held by the book from beginning to the end in fact I read the book in two days because I couldn't put it down. I usually don't read a lot of fiction but Pawley"s writing style and ability to hold you in the moment as if you where really apart of the story he's telling will leave you craving more. This truly is the best book I've read since Ally Girl and I'm a very avid reader being disabled. I give this book 5 stars a must read for anyone.

Mr. Pawley does it again. Very different than Alley Girl, but a wonderful follow-up as it continues the stories of common characters while introducing new ones. Mostly a love story, yet also a mystery, I was hooked. The Coffee Cabin is the kind of place I would love to frequent: cozy, fun, familiar...onto the next book by Mr. Pawley!
